About this book

Language: German

Pink flamingos, white horses and black bulls – these symbolic animals dominate the Camargue. Not too far away from central Europe –- from Freiburg in soutwest Germany to Arles is just over 700 km – is this Mediterranean landscape. This is no wild nature landscape, as tourism, agriculture and industry are taking their space, but space remains for nature in huge areas still.

The Camargue is one of the most important wetlands in Europe, numerous migratory birds find a stopover on the way here, and can be oberserved throughout the year. But not just birds, also interesting plants and small animals are waiting to be discovered.

Volume 6 in the series Hotspots Europas invites you to explore and photograph this expansive Mediterranean landscape.
